As the value of the suppress_trailing_delimiters (="true" or "false") attribute of the element/annotation/appinfo/recordInfo annotation element.

Remarks

You can examine and set this property in the Visual Studio Properties window when you select a Record node (including a root Record node) in BizTalk Editor and you have:

  • Configured the Flat File Extension option for the Schema Editor Extensions property of the Schema node

  • Set the Structure property of the selected Record node to Delimited

When an element is entirely missing from an instance message, such as when it is optional, the corresponding delimiter will always be missing, regardless of the setting of this property.
